Soft-Hearted Scientists -- The Petition I've finally gotten off my butt and ordered the current album, which is on its way. In the meantime I sent this somewhat lengthy track off this morning to a friend of mine who is, in fact, a scientist and is just too wound up tight most of the time. Geoff, did you ever explore this group? They seem right up your avenue. | ||

Wandermoon is great Randy, I listened to Road to Rhayader and Tornadoes in Birmingham on a late night drive home from a party in Lyme Regis in the early hours of this morning. The tawny owls calling at the start of Road sounded perfect. I f***ing love the Scientists. | ||

Firstly can I just say I've never got on with psychedelic music/bands. Well apart from The Doors if they count? And even then I prefer the bluesier stuff they did. Until you guys mentioned Soft Hearted Scientists I'd never heard of them. Well apparently they are a band who dabble in psychedelia (if you believe the Amazon reviewers at least), but even so I was curious so looked them up on Spotify and stuck on Wandermoon. I knew within 30 secs I would struggle to like it. I soldiered on for a few songs but its just not my bag. Is it fair to label them psychedelia or is that just something they flirted with on this release? Is there anything in particular you would recommend? | ||
| cosmo vitelli Member Username: Cosmo Post Number: 509 Registered: 05-2005 |
Try 'Brother Sister' from the first album Kev, that was the song that hooked me in to the band. They can do no wrong for me though. | ||
| Hugh Nimmo Member Username: Hugh_nimmo Post Number: 425 Registered: 03-2007 |
Kevin, The Doors debut was a wonderful album in my humble opinion. Break On Through ( To The Other Side ) is one of my favourite opening tracks of any album of that era. Morrison may not have been a particularly talented lyricist but he was certainly one of the most charismatic front men of his time. I never liked their bluesier stuff. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CbiPDSxFg d8 I like the Soft Hearted Scientist but I am reluctant to attach the psychedelia label to them as some of the reviews you have read have done. There may well be a some psychedelia in their music but I think the folk influence is much stronger. I know folk music is not your thing which may well explain why they do not appeal to you. The following band is probably my favourite of the 1960s/1970s psychedelic era. They recorded two albums for ESP and then another four for Reprise ( five if you include one which the label released without the band's permission.) I play them often unlike many albums of that particular time which I own. Pearls Before Swine - Balaklava ( 1968 ) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWfN9R3zy x8&feature=related There is at least one other member of this forum who I know rates them as highly as I do. A singer with a lisp. Not an easy sell. | ||

Now thats better. Thanks for that heads up James, also played Mount Palinar and Midnight Mutinies (all three songs via Youtube)from Uncanny Tales From The Everyday Undergrowth. Will be playing again for sure. Hugh, I am not against "folk" per se, just the "milkmaid churning" stuff we all discussed a few years back. In my world people like Nick Drake and Elliott Smith are folk music and they were both great. I did seek out some Pearls Before Swine on Spotify a couple of weeks back when they were being discussed here. Must admit I couldn't get past the lisp but that song you posted was great and sounded fantastic on headphones. Reminded me of Tim Buckley, loved the whispered counter vocal in the left channel - very atmospheric and eerie - obviously my word of the night! | ||
| Geoff Holmes Member Username: Geoff Post Number: 832 Registered: 05-2005 |
Randy, I listened to the Soft Heart Scientists stuff you(?) sent me but it didn't reach out and grab me by the throat so I never played it that much. I certainly didn't think that they could be classified as psychedelic. Then again, a lot of stuff I have persued with the moniker "psychedelic" has been the same. | ||

There are bits of psychedelia in the Scientists' music, but yes it derives a good chunk of its sound and vibe from 60s pop folk. "The Petition" is particularly pysch in sound and feel. Not electric though. I just thought it was something that would work for you Geoff. | ||
| Geoff Holmes Member Username: Geoff Post Number: 833 Registered: 05-2005 |
No worries Randy! You know how picky I am about these things! Thanks for sending it in the first place. By the way, since we are talking 60's psychedelia, do you know the Stems or Died Pretty? They were the last of "my" quintet of homegrown, great 60's influenced, 80's psychedelic bands. ( The Church, Ups and Downs, The Moffs, The Stems and Died Pretty.) It could be argued that the Church started it all here and well before anyone had heard of the Paisley Underground. | ||

Geoff, I think everybody has heard of Died Pretty. Though I've never actually heard their music. The name and album art put me off eons ago. I've never heard of the Stems. They have a much more suitable name. I will research them. | ||
| Randy Adams Member Username: Randy_adams Post Number: 3012 Registered: 03-2005 |
Ah, The Stems are a Don Mariani group. I have a 2-CD antho of the Someloves. There are some good moments but in general it doesn't light me up. It's too self-consciously retro and kind of college rock. How similar are the two groups? The reason the Moffs (out of your quintet) have always scored so well with me is that they chased their ideal with a crazy single-mindedness that never stopped to give any nods to anything else. They're like an even trashier Hawkwind. I love them. | ||

| Jeff Whiteaker Member Username: Jeff_whiteaker Post Number: 2495 Registered: 10-2004 |
I would say that song is just so-so, Cosmo, but it's quite different from what was on the album that I heard, if my memory is serving me correctly. I just can't remember which album it was, but I think it was a later one. | ||
| cosmo vitelli Member Username: Cosmo Post Number: 513 Registered: 05-2005 |
Well I would say you were wrong Jeff but we clearly have completely different ideas on what constitutes good music, shall we just agree that it isn't 'terrible'? | ||

| Randy Adams Member Username: Randy_adams Post Number: 3013 Registered: 03-2005 |
Thanks Cosmo. I never would have associated these sounds with the name "Died Pretty" but like I said I'd never actually heard them. Jeff is not generally a fan of garage-ish bands so this kind of thing will not normally appeal to him. Seriously, though, I just saw the name "Died Pretty" and went "AC/DC" in my mind and never gave them another thought. I am reminded of the disconnect with the very badly-named Paradise Motel who Hugh originally introduced me to. They are a brilliant band in no way served by the mediocre name they chose. Btw, I don't mean to say that Paradise Motel sound anything like this music; I'm just referencing the difference between the sound of the band and impression made by their name. Joy Division sound just like their name says they will and I'd say that for the Go-Betweens as well. Cosmo, Geoff: is there a good lazy-guy starter anthology for Died Pretty? | ||
| Jeff Whiteaker Member Username: Jeff_whiteaker Post Number: 2496 Registered: 10-2004 |
Oh Cosmo, why do you even care what I think? All that really matters is that the music exists and it moves *you* on a deep level. (For the record, the song is not terrible by any means, just not particularly my thing, and different from how I remember the one album of theirs that I heard). As for saying "we clearly have completely different ideas on what constitutes good music," that's preposterous and just plain factually incorrect. Need I remind you we're both frequent contributors to the same band-specific message board? Or do you really not like the Go-Betweens?  Besides, a couple minutes of searching the board revealed a few more bands that Cosmo and I both like: Felt Killing Joke Cocteau Twins REM (at least the early stuff) Wire The Stranglers (at least "Goodbye Toulouse") Stereolab (despite disagreements on post '97 output) Ultravox (John Foxx era) Surely there is more overlap than this... | ||
| Randy Adams Member Username: Randy_adams Post Number: 3014 Registered: 03-2005 |
It looks like "Free Dirt" in its 2-CD form is the choice. | ||
| David Gagen Member Username: David_g Post Number: 397 Registered: 02-2007 |
One of my fav albums is Died Pretty's "Doughboy Hollow" not sure when released. Up there with some Triffids and GoBees stuff at least in MHO. Never saw them play live as a group, but a coupla years ago saw Ron Peno and Brett Meyers as a duo in Brisbane and they were simply magnificent. Not sure if their other work matches Doughboy which is prob their peak. | ||
| David Gagen Member Username: David_g Post Number: 398 Registered: 02-2007 |
Randy. mayb its a bit overproduced for your liking, but there are some good songs on it | ||
| cosmo vitelli Member Username: Cosmo Post Number: 517 Registered: 05-2005 |
Randy, there's a career spanning compilation which I got in Australia in 2003 which is probably the best way in. Jeff, I don't care what you think just have a problem with your delivery on occasions. We all have opinions and many of them differ. | ||
| Jeff Whiteaker Member Username: Jeff_whiteaker Post Number: 2497 Registered: 10-2004 |
Cosmo, most of us here get snarky or negative from time to time, which at times is probably not the most constructive way to discuss music. However, I don't think most of us mean it personally. I have seen people here try to shred some of the bands I love dearly to pieces. The trick is in learning to shrug one's shoulders when that happens and move on, rather than make a stink about it. | ||
| Jeff Whiteaker Member Username: Jeff_whiteaker Post Number: 2498 Registered: 10-2004 |
That second song Cosmo posted is pretty good musically, but I find the singer's style of singing to be off-putting. This is gonna get me crucified, but he sounds kind of "hair metal" to me on this song. Trouser Press describes the singer thusly: "One moment Ronald S. Peno is screeching like he's tried on Robert Plant's too-tight pants, the next he's got the voice of Jim Morrison calling from the grave." I'm remembering now that perhaps it was the vocalist that was the stumbling block for me. I listened to some other stuff on youtube in an attempt to figure out which album it was that I heard and didn't care for. I think it was actually Free Dirt. I'm hearing some songs where the singer's vocals are kind of irritating, but there are others where he seems to tone it down a bit. The organ is nice, but overall I'm probably less enamored with some of the bluesier bits. Some of it sounds a bit paisley underground, which is something I never really got into except for Opal's Early Recordings. | ||

| Geoff Holmes Member Username: Geoff Post Number: 835 Registered: 05-2005 |
Randy, I was a huge Died Pretty fan at the end of Uni. When I came to work in Sydney I saw them quite a lot - just about every time they played. They were brooding and then they would explode with lead singer, Ron Peno, flayling himself around the stage a la early Joe Cocker...but BETTER! Start with the compilation, "Pre-Diety" which is the first 2 singles and the brilliant Next to nothing e.p. If you like that, go in chronoogical order - "Free Dirt" then "Lost" then "Every Brilliant Eye". "Doughboy Hollow" was next but you would have heard it all before by then and it was a little more slick. Dom Mariani did loads of stuff under various guises but it was all pretty much of the same ilk i.e. 60's power pop with a heavy nod to the Monkees, the Electric Prunes and The Easybeats. However, the Stems is where it started so it is a bit more real and exciting. The Stems can be collected in 2 albums. "Mushroom soup" is a compilation of their first singles and e.p. This has some quite GROOVY "'66" psychedelia on it like "Jumping to Conclusions' and "Under your mushroom". Also has the classic "Tears me in two". "At first sight (violets are blue)" was their debut and "final" album (don't bother about the reform album - terrible). This has some classic 60's power pop on it - especially the single "At First Sight" which, notably, made an appearance in the movie "Young Einstein". This was a little more "pop" with some songs sounding like they are trying to be the Monkees. Does this whet your appetite? | ||
| cosmo vitelli Member Username: Cosmo Post Number: 523 Registered: 05-2005 |
Geoff is right in that Pre-Diety is absolutely essential and it contains both the songs I posted links to which arent on the career compilation that is titled Out of the Unknown. I think that perhaps these two CDs could be enough for the casual fan and then Free Dirt etc if your passion and interest extend further | ||
| cosmo vitelli Member Username: Cosmo Post Number: 524 Registered: 05-2005 |
Suddenly thought that perhaps some people on the board arent aware that Died Pretty's original keyboard player 1983-1988 was Frank Brunetti of 'Darlinghurst Nights' fame? | ||
| skulldisco Member Username: Skulldisco Post Number: 1952 Registered: 10-2008 |
Hugh, I have never heard any of Martyn Bennetts stuff although I vaguely remember hearing of his death. Its not really my cup of tea, especially the first one with the bagpipes!! Overall these songs are probably a bit too "traditional" for my philistine like tastes. The second song, Move, was more interesting though. (In my confusion I initially thought you were referring to one of the guys from Eyeless in Gaza, then I remembered that was either Martyn Bates or Peter Becker. They always had a sort of folky element to some of their albums, need to check them out again) | ||
| Hugh Nimmo Member Username: Hugh_nimmo Post Number: 430 Registered: 03-2007 |
Randy, At First Sight was remastered/reissued in 2003 as a two disc set ( original album plus a single, two b-sides, a demo and ten tracks recorded live to four track in 1986 in Perth.) It is becoming increasing hard to find and is priced accordingly. AmazonCom are advertising it for US$32.55 but, like many other retailers, do not have it in stock. CDConnection have a copy for sale at US$32.00. The last live track on the bonus disc is a version of Stepping Stone by Boyce and Hart. http://www.cdconnection.com/details/Stem s__At_First_Sight/814490?source=none2 | ||
| Randy Adams Member Username: Randy_adams Post Number: 3015 Registered: 03-2005 |
You people are killing me! Prior to reading all these posts I pulled the lever for the expanded 2-CD "Free Dirt" reissue which might have everything on "Pre-Diety" perhaps? I also bought the expanded "Doughboy Hollow" on the basis of a recommendation by Padraig. I'll see how those go and then perhaps proceed as Geoff recommends. And, no, I didn't know about the Frank Brunetti connection until I read the Wiki article on them last night. Thanks for the info about the Stems CD, Hugh. I'll ponder that one because I pulled out my Someloves antho yesterday and just couldn't get into it, so I don't know . . . . | ||

Andreas, Jorge Ben was basically what got me into Brazilian bossa nova and samba (although to be fair, I should credit Astrid Gilberto as well). From there I immediately got into Joao Gilberto's seminal first three albums, and then onto other brilliant artists like Baden Powell, Luiz Bonfa, Nara Leao, Carlos Lyra, Jobim, Vinicius de Moraes, Marcos Valle, etc... Really beautiful, sophisticated, yet still somehow simple music. | ||

Hugh, Just saw your post re Underground Lovers. I really tried to get into the Underground Lovers...honestly! But because I couldn't, I just turned up to see Mark Gardener. He was O.K. - it was never going to be bad with songs like Leave them all behind, but his band were very unadventurous and didn't really create that "shatteringly loud, droning neo-psychedelia" as someone once wrote. He's got a new album coming out very soon and played a couple of songs from it, none of which really stood out live. After "Nowhere" got a deluxe treatment last year, all of the rest of the albums are getting it this year. I downloaded the Portishead remix of "Moonlight Medicine" which I didn't have, but, after the box set in 2000, I can't imagine there is too much more stuff to make it all worth buying again. He said he'd be back in 2 years. We will see. I might not be. | ||
| Hugh Nimmo Member Username: Hugh_nimmo Post Number: 433 Registered: 03-2007 |

Nice one Cosmo, and strangely I could imagine listening to that more often than the original now! Must be an age thing... Re: the Fall and Big New Prinz, I saw the 'I Am Kurious Oranj' show with Michael Clark and his troupe of dancers during the Edinburgh Festival in '88 (?). And yes that's the Festival and not the Fringe, so we are talking serious CULTURE youse plebs... What was hilarious was the crčme-de-la-crčme of the Edinburgh bourgeoisie going to a ballet event in the stuffy King's Theatre during the official festival and being confronted by the unholy racket of the Fall playing live and Clark's bare bum. At the end the national anthem started playing over the tannoy, so all the blue-rinsed ladies got to their feet. It stopped after 10 seconds abruptly and they all sat down. It then started again. This continued several times 'til everyone got the joke. Note for the non Brits : at the end of every public performance (even in the cinema when I was a youngster) 'God Save the Queen' would be played. Makes you proud that Britain now has such a more realistic view towards the monarchy. (IRONY ALERT). As for the afore-mentioned bare bum it features in this version of 'Lay of the Land' from '84 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1cVegCDlb kA | ||

Stuart, The heatwave broke here in SW France finally yesterday ! Rain today and temperatures about 20° degrees cooler than just a couple of days ago. Maybe we can sleep again at night... | ||

Should happen tomorrow, here, Andrew. I have threatened to strip naked and dance on the terrace if it does, which will at least keep the neighbours amused. | ||

Paradise Motel - Dead Beats. Crap name for a band, but this song is an obvious standout on Flight Paths. | ||

It's September in Australia but it's still August in California. Today's song: Adele & Glenn -- Grey Suits. A really nice song. | ||
